This film is generally a low-budget re-rendering of the 1996 blockbuster hit, "Independence Day". If it were a spoof, it would have been more entertaining. As it stands, I suspect it's an attempt to capitalize on the actual sequel to "Independence Day", which will be in theaters on June 24th.
The rather limp response of the American Military establishment to the destruction of the White House, the President, and 2,000 White House staffers might be funny it weren't so sad. The new President's husband, a senator, issues commands to the National Guard and they follow them, as if a Member of Congress was actually in the Chain of Command.
The interiors of the alien spacecraft are decorated in Early Industrial Basement, with the most prevalent design element being deconstructed plastic milk crates. The militia members seem happy to accept direction from military brass or civilian authority. It's as if the writers have no idea what militias are all about: anti-government and obsessed with "personal freedom".
I'll be glad to see the real sequel when it come out.
